New scholarship will enable four Greece-based firms to pursue the SME Growth Challenge programme at the Entrepreneurship Centre, part of Cambridge Judge Business School.

A new scholarship will enable four Greece-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate in the SME Growth Challenge programme run by the Entrepreneurship Centre at Cambridge Judge Business School.

The scholarships, which will cover half the programme’s tuition fee of £8,000, will be funded by the Gianna Angelopoulos Programme for Science, Technology and Innovation (GAPSTI), based at the Maxwell Centre of the Department of Physics (Cavendish Laboratory) at the University of Cambridge.

The SME Growth Challenge programme, which has been running for four years, supports innovative companies that have positive turnover and leadership teams with a vision for growth. Modules focus on identifying growth opportunities, needed business transformations, and leadership strategies that will enable firms to execute their growth plans.

The next programme will run over three two-day periods in September 2019, November 2019 and January 2020. Greek SMEs wishing to apply for the scholarships should submit their application by 31 July 2019 .
